Tremoços

Tremoços, also known as lupini beans, are a popular snack in Portugal and other Mediterranean countries. These yellow legume seeds come from the Lupinus genus and are known for their high protein and fiber content. Tremoços are typically soaked and cooked to remove their natural bitterness and then pickled in brine. They are often enjoyed as a bar snack, served cold and eaten by squeezing the beans out of their skins. Tremoços are appreciated for their slightly bitter and salty flavor, making them a favorite accompaniment to drinks, usually beer.
